Two Minus One Equals Three
That’s the number of non-personal posts on my mind, of course. I was saying that I had two such posts on my mind, wrote one of them, but now there are three left. Admittedly, it just struck me that I should write one of them while preparing to write this one, after I had already come up with the title. Still, at least it means that I’m back to having plenty of ideas, if the drive and the ability to put them into words is still lacking. For a while I was finding myself rather short of ideas as well, which was troubling.
Until about one hour before I started writing this post, I fully meant to write one of the two that I had on my mind at the time, but realized that it was highly unlikely to turn out reasonably enough. Besides, my ISP seems to be having some issues again today and trying to write a non-personal post automatically meant fighting with it for hours and possibly rushing to post it shortly before midnight, at which time I just might not be able to, considering the issues, so found another excuse in that, saying I’d better not risk it.
Otherwise, there have been new developments regarding the various ongoing situations, but none of them good, so I won’t get into any of that at this time, especially since nothing major seems to have happened just yet. When something will, you’ll probably find out about it here, assuming I’ll somehow still be able to function enough to write about it, which will depend almost exclusively on exactly what will happen.
Or, all right, just so I’ll actually say something in this post, I’ll move away from said ongoing situations and say that I finally finished the original campaign of Tropico 3. Somehow completed that last scenario in September of 1985, so over four years before the deadline, and on the first try, despite not thinking it possible until I got past 1980. I had a plan from the start and steadily worked on it for 30 game years, but once it started working, it really started working! Admittedly, I once had to reload an earlier save due to getting myself into a tight spot, but this was nothing like that terrible Viva Tropico scenario, which I had to restart several times. (Actually, had to load an earlier save twice, but the second time was because the game froze, which was actually the first time it happened, and this shouldn’t count because I more or less did the same things I had done since the last autosave.)
And this is just about it for this week. Once again, I’m hoping that next week I’ll somehow manage to write two serious and non-personal posts, whether or not they’ll include any of the three that are currently on my mind. Of course, I highly doubt it’ll happen, but at least I have a much greater chance of achieving that than any of the other things I’m striving and hoping for, so I should probably at least start here and then see about everything else… Or something to that effect.
